No, you can't convert directly from CCSID 65535 into UTF-8.
You can only convert into single byte ccsid - for example 37 (US-English) or 273 (German) or ...

If the data is in a single byte CCSID you easily can convert into UTF-8.

Cast(Cast(Your65535String as VarChar(256) CCSID 37) as VarChar(256) CCSID 1208)

Subject: CCSID 65535 and SQL

Hi All,

There is a vendor file that has a field with CCSID 65535 assigned. Can SQL convert that field to CCSID 1208? I am asking about SQL because the person who will be working with the file prefers SQL.

When we try to CAST it to 1208 we get '[SQL0332] Character conversion between CCSID 65535 and CCSID 1208 not valid.'

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Bobby
